How startups becomes successful ?

Startup are famous for their tag line "No pain, No gain". So whether you are running small business, online retail shop, freelance, technical writer, programmer, running any Non profit organisation, invoicing customers for any work or even running any Internet business then the biggest challenge is to manage multiple different tasks simultaneously.

You need to handle all these tasks on your own ie invoice clients, track payments and manage all financial statements to let them know that they are working with a qualified professional. So here you require an smart invoicing tool which is easy to use and helps you to send professional invoices, for this one of the best option is PayInvoice.

PayInvoice Roadmap for July - September 2014.

Our simplest invoicing tool for Joomla is round the corner with fresh new feature updates and changes. It has been quite a time since we first launched PayInvoice for Joomla. We learned a lot about people’s expectations as well as their requirements. We will be incorporating most of the demanded features.

A Proactive Approach To Client Communication.

Are you part of a community dealing with consumer satisfaction or helping them out? Are you sincere enough for your client’s need? If it is true then PayPlans has a solution for your specific needs. It will help you in connecting with your subscribers effortlessly.

"The decision to incur any change in the subscription model of a product is a tough one."

- Someone not Important.

Over and over, again and again we went through our decisions, we tried considering all the aspects to generate the most feasible pricing value for all of our existing JS addon products.

Our company, Ready Bytes Software Labs, has been working hard through the years to deliver high-quality Joomla products at the lowest possible prices. Today we wish to share our understandings that we can no more avoid the growing expenses that go into the production of our products.

An online shopping cart system for your daily use.

We designed PayPlans which is an online membership system. Now, we are upcoming with PayCart, “An online shopping cart system, for your easy use”.

The basic idea of PayCart was introduced to the Joomla world in our blog post, ”PayCart: Making Dent In E-Commerce !!!”. We are very happy to receive a warm welcome for our upcoming Shopping cart platform -- PayCart. We have already included many of the ideas given by you at our official google group for PayCart.

Direction for the fixes in PayPlans, PayInvoice and JXiForms.

Apart from the bug fixes, recently our testing team has discovered a major security issue in our Frameworks which acts as the basis for three of our major products namely PayPlans, PayInvoice & JXi Forms. So, a major security fix has been released for the trio product.

Sayonara, PayPlans 2.X series.

As mentioned earlier in our PayPlans roadmap, we have come forth to announce the end of life for PayPlans 2.x series. The 2.x series of PayPlans was launched back in July 2012. Since then this series has been through rigorous development.

Now, it’s time to bid farewell to the 2.x series. It has served our users a lot but due to advancement of new technologies as well as Joomla the possibilities of further development are diminishing in it. So, we have collectively decided to put the 2.x series of PayPlans at rest.

Why we love Joomla?

Many times we are asked about why Joomla is our only preferred platform for development and even requested to develop a specific functionality beyond Joomla. But, we have always discarded the idea and never ventured out aimlessly amongst different platforms. Team Ready Bytes has always strongly supported Joomla and even asks everyone to consider Joomla for achieving their dreams.

Why Joomla?

A very sad news that I have to deliver to you is, “We will not be releasing the Ugly Forms”. Earlier our plan was to continue the development of Ugly Forms post migration of JoomlaXi.com to Ready Bytes.net but considering the current market scenarios we have decided to put sheets on the development process of the Ugly Forms.

The new changes on Ready Bytes

Layout of the upcoming months, dedicated in PayPlans 3.2 development.

We are back again with a fresh vision and a set of new goals for the PayPlans development. This year we have decided to change the roadmap announcements slightly. Until the last year's end the roadmap blogs were becoming quite bulky for a reader to read effortlessly.

This year we have decided, not to publish a unified roadmap for all. It means that each and every product will be dedicated it's own roadmap. We believe that it will definitely ease up our readers to compile as well as keep trace of the development process effortlessly. Moreover the user will not have to go through the roadmaps for all the products. Now, you will be able to choose what you wanna know.

Also we are abolishing the quarterly roadmap system. Every published roadmap will have its own timeline to follow. once the timeline ends we will move on to the next one with new objectives and experiences. I believe the decision makes some sense ☺.

Team Ready Bytes is extremely honoured to contribute in the upcoming Joomla Day event which is going to take place in the most happening city of Sao Paulo situated in Brazil.

We are excited as hell as it has been quite a time since we contributed to our Joomla family. We have started our new financial year with the motive to give, which we will continue in one or the another form throughout the year.

Debugging the Joomla issues quickly

"Well trained and knowledgeable support staff is available for your help, but to squeeze the best out of them in the minimal effort is an art."

You own a Joomla website and have few extensions installed at your end. It is very likely that an error or a bug can crop up anytime and trouble you indefinitely. In that scenario the best solution is to contact the extension provider for the technical help but our earth is separated into different time zones, which could be a cause for the hinderance in the immediate answering to your troubles.

What’s fresh in PayPlans 3.1.2 ?

Sharing the personal insight on getting the right consumer support.

"Exact Consumer Support at the right time can save anyone from a deadening frustration."

I believe almost everyone round the globe has felt the genuine requirement for a good consumer support at some point in their life. I have felt the need many times and suffered few frustrating responses from the consumer support.

I was always wondering that, do they not love the product for which they give the support? Sometimes it also occurred to me that the support person was not well versed with his products. As the reply was something other than I asked for. Why such response? Are they placed forcefully to reply? All these mind consuming thoughts kept swarming in my head for a very long time, without any possible reason for their existence.

Directory Listings….. Have you ever come across this term? Have you ever wondered about it’s benefits? Do you know that hosting a genuine directory listing can be a great revenue source for you? If the answer to all the above questions are NO then please go on, read this blog and benefit yourself with our understandings.
